Mazzei Skimmer Project

[Gujustud]

Well I finally got around to starting SOME work on my skimmer. Of course nowhere close to completion, but with all the PM's, and a few emails, I figured I'd post a very limited updated, instead of waiting till I'm done (as we know it may be weeks from now!)



Above is a picture of the skimmer base. Used .65" thick acrylic for it. Still need to finish tapping it (only started the threads on the CNC), and I need to finish milling the bottom for the leg mounts (which I may skip, because I kinda like the look of it as it is).

You'll notice the 6.5" o-ring in the pic, and probably wonder why at the bottom. I am designing a cone to fit inside the cylinder (near the top) so to be able to clean out the inside of the cylinder, I need to access it from the bottom.

More pics to come shortly!
